In the Diplomas Count 2013 special report accompanying this edition of Education Week, the executive summary and an article about challenges faced by dropouts returning to school contain incorrect statistics. The share of students in San Bernardino, Calif., who dropped out between 2001 and 2006 and later attained a high school diploma was fewer than one in five.

A photo caption for an article on tornado safety in the June 5, 2013, issue of Education Week contained incorrect information about the number of Oklahoma schools with safe rooms built with federal funds. The state education department knows of 85 such schools.

A version of this article appeared in the June 12, 2013 edition of Education Week as Correction
